Go for it! I started out on a Kawasaki Invader 340 when I was 6 and it was a heavy pig, then rode my fathers EXT 580 until I was 10 but it was so heavy I couldn't get it unstuck myself or start it myself and would walk miles home when stuck in the field or ditch. Then he bought a 1997 ZL 440. Me at the age of 10 could start it myself, muscle it around when stuck and ride alone because it was so easy to handle, start, and I could unstuck it myself. It's a great lightweight sled and a blast to ride even now that I'm 26. I inherited it and am saving it for my son when he is old enough so he can learn before juming on my M8000s. Buy it and don't look back!
